I had trimmed the stencil to fit in the width of the porch foundation wall, as I did not have any spray adhesive in the house. After the first layer dried overnight, I just positioned the stencil over the last column of bricks to anchor it, and I put the next layer of Spackle on.© Lene Pieters

I continued with a third layer while the second one was still wet. It was tricky, so next time I'll wait for it to dry properly before attempting to continue the rows of bricks.© Lene Pieters

I found these two cute stencils at my scrapbook store. Big block is exactly 3 Eights of an Inch by One inch. Small block is half inch by quarter inch. I tried both for the porch foundation of my Arthur - both will fit nicely along with their grout spacings. Big block will allow 2 rows. Small block will allow 4 rows. Now my dilemma: There is only ONE step from the ground to the porch. So logically, two rows of blocks will work visually. However, my engineer husband insists that it looks horrible and he prefers the 4 rows of smaller blocks. Either way, I want to try the following: Paint the foundation black. Add blocks with stencil and spackle. After drying, paint stones different shades of gray. I do have to apply the spackle before I glue on the roof panels, so that the house can lie flat on its back while I work. And it has to lie on the front too, when I spackle the blocks onto the back portion of the house foundation. Am I missing anything crucial in my plan? And size: I cannot decide and I have no idea how the whole lot will look together. Bearing in mind the gold charm details on the trim and the crazy roof paper, which size block would look better?

What do you recommend to seal egg carton brick, stone, etc., that isn't shiny? I tried some matte varnish that claimed to have "virtually no sheen." But when I applied it to painted egg carton brick, it dried very shiny and ruined the rough texture. Thanks for any suggestions!

Has anyone used this product in their minis? They make pretty good 3D puzzles. I have seen something similar to these bricks in the hobby stores. I seem to remember someone saying they have used something similar and cut the bricks into smaller pieces. There is a sale for members that has it down to $2.99 per pack. I want to try it out, but wanted to see if anyone here has used it. http://www.bitsandpi...le-kit/p/45194/
